In the travel scenarios of visually impaired individuals, the familiar "tap-tap" sound of white canes striking the ground and the jingling of guide dog collar bells were once the most recognizable background sounds.

Today, an AI-powered smart guidance device called Glide is redefining "independent mobility" with a revolutionary approach—it is the world's first autonomous intelligent navigation tool, weaving an invisible "safety navigation network" for the visually impaired through robotics and AI algorithms, transforming "barrier-free travel" from a slogan into a tangible reality.

Glide's creation is intimately connected to founder Amos Miller's personal experience. After losing his sight to retinitis pigmentosa in his twenties, he was determined to break down barriers through technology while pursuing his computer science degree.

As a former Microsoft executive and founder of the Soundscape navigation app, he leads the Glidance team with "empathy" at its core—every device feature (such as anti-slip handles and low-noise wheels) stems from the real needs of visually impaired individuals, rather than mere technological accumulation.
